EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving captures the vibrant beauty of two marine species - the Sapphire damsel and the harlequin sweetlips. The Sapphire damsel, also known as the peacock or sea-peacock (Pomacentrus pavo), is a small, colorful fish with striking blue and yellow markings that resemble a peacock's feathers. Its elegant fins and intricate patterns make it a favorite among aquarium enthusiasts.
In contrast, the harlequin sweetlips (Plectorhinchus chaetodonoides) is a larger fish with bold black and white stripes that give it a dramatic appearance. Its name comes from its resemblance to the traditional costume of a harlequin clown, adding an element of whimsy to its already eye-catching design.
This engraving is part of Jussieu's "Dictionary of Natural Sciences," edited by Hippolyte Cloquet in the early 19th century. The detailed illustration was created by J.G. Pretre, engraved by Massard, and directed by Turpin before being published by F.G. Levrault.
Whether you're an art lover or a nature enthusiast, this print is sure to captivate your imagination with its intricate details and vivid colors. Display it in your home or office to bring a touch of underwater beauty into your space.
